I’d like to have a diverse real estate portfolio (single family, du/tri/quad plexes and a small 8-10 unit multi family) and then see what I enjoy the most. 

The other day I put an offer on a rental unit and within the day there was 14 offers, and the house went for 18k (12%) above asking price to an all-cash buyer.

I was told by a lender that it is possible to qualify for first-time homebuyer grants/assistance due to him still be a FTHM and still using my income to assist with the home purchase.

As my portfolio grew, having one in my own name never felt like a major liability or administrative headache.My first Lehigh Valley property was a three unit, purchased with a partnership under our own names.
